Today we talked about education and how it impacts a society. Saleha
discussed how important and crucial education is, and how it promotes knowledge
and betters a society. One of her major goals in life is to receive her Master’s
degree in America, so she places a strong value on education and higher
learning. Knowledge is very important to her, and she’s utilized her lessons to
get a full time job in accounting at an investment firm. She was very grateful
that her father encouraged her to pursue an education, because in other
provinces of Afghanistan many families cannot send their children to school
because of war and violence. She also talked about how some fathers did not go
to school, so they consequently didn’t encourage their children to attend
school. She related this a lot to our conversation from last week and brought
up how this ignorance and lack of education contributes to a lack of peace in
her country. I think it’s great that she is able place such great value on
learning and education. It’s clear that she’s seen how a formal education can
make a difference in people’s lives. As a female, I can only imagine the
obstacles she’s had to overcome to get where she is today, and I admire her
ambition and drive.
